This is, to me, by far, the most heartwarming video from Doug, because like for most of us, the car love and obsession started as a kid and it’s so nice to remember when I, for example, dreamed of having a Porsche Cayman /911 in Brazil and when seeing one, I would lose my sh** and ask my dad to follow the car. It was just so exciting and would make me bond with my dad and share the love of cars. Now I have my own Porsche and I share the joy when I see a kid taking pictures of my car even though, nowadays and here in Canada, it’s not as difficult to see a Cayman/911.

Thanks for sharing! I never heard your Ralph Lauren story before. It's fun to see someone like yourself still getting excited for car spotting. I remember I as 15 years old and in Monaco for the 1st time on a family trip. We walked by the casino and I saw a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 and a Mercedes 280 convertible. We were staying in Nice and driving back I saw a DB-7 and a F355 spider driving by us. I will never forget the sound of the Ferrari as it pasted us. All the best to you, and never stop being that teenage boy nerding out over other peoples cars.

Mate, I was obsessed with the Veyron too, a little tale about my spotting: - I was based in the Czech Republic for work and had just gotten a company Passat CC. I took 3 friends and we drove to Germany to test the car in the autobahn. I was doing 220 km/h when something on my mirror gave me a light flash, I opened up, and this thing when past me so far that even at 220km/h we couldn’t identify the car. We drove approx 60km in hopes to catch up with it. That’s when some road work piled up the traffic and we finally saw a brand new Bugatti Veyron, driven by Czech Republic’s best ice hockey player at the time. A memory I’ll cherish forever.

In 1985 I was living in Geneva Switzerland, and every year you had to get your car inspected at the official government inspection station. You would drive there and get on live to wait your turn. In 1985 I pulled up for inspection in my Ford Fiesta, and the car before me on the line was a 288 GTO

[@itsRightThereMan]

The truth is I really just love Doug. For all your content and videos, hearing you tell stories about your life is always the best for me.

[@Derek-Walker]

Loved this video! I used to carspot religiously back in 2006-2012. I have a similar story of being in Greenwich CT and knowing that Tommy Hilfiger lived nearby and had an Enzo, my favorite car. The day I visited I ended up seeing him drive his Enzo to the CVS at the top of the hill to run a mundane errand. The highlight of my carspotting career!

[@ebauer427]

seeing RL driving a Veyron is probably rarer than seeing a leprechaun riding a unicorn. AND the fact that DM was wearing a polo shirt...it's a trifecta of sugary goodness. what a great story!

[@Shrike58]

I was never really a car spotter but in the 40 years I lived in Northern Virginia (1983-2023) one wound up seeing a lot of interesting cars. These included an Ariel Atom on I-66 inside the Beltway, a Lamborghini Espada just tooling around in early rush-hour traffic in Arlington, a Lambo LM002 someone had parked on the street in Georgetown, what I think was a Ferrari 348 (with its nose buried in one of those rapid-stop bins full of sand), a first-generation Tesla, and, coolest of all, a late 1930s Chevy coupe that was an obvious survivor. I talked to the driver and that Chevy had been in the family since it rolled off the dealership back in the day.

[@afterburn2600]

This is so cathartic. I'm a touch older than Doug so I definitely did not have social media and I have been mocked many a time for car spotting in my youth. But I did love car spotting (and still do) - my dad and I still compare notes when we see each other. One infamous story that I was never able to live down: It was in the mid 90s and I told a friend and his parents that I saw a Ferrari. That was the beginning and end to my story - the alpha and the omega if you will. To me, it was enthralling - gripping even. To them, I was off my rocker. They waited expecting some sort of finale. But much like this post, none was to come.

[@thejonathandoan]

I’m not a car spotter, but several years ago, I did valet work. A couple of the best cars I got to drive (or be near) were these: a BRAND NEW Rolls Royce drop top (the top cover looked like a yacht, and the new car tags were still on it! I think the dude bought it that day.), a brand new Ferrari (either a 458 or 488), a Noble M600, an Aston Martin Rapide, and a BMW Z8 (which I was allowed to park several times.

[@drexel92]

Doug, I almost never comment on videos, but I must say that I totally get it. You personify what it means to be an enthusiast. I am so happy for you, that your life has followed the trajectory that teenage car nuts dream of. I get it. The excitement at seeing something rare and beautiful that was designed to be driven but certainly almost is. I was on the Garden State Parkway one summer night when I saw unfamiliar headlights rapidly approaching from behind me. I pulled to the right to let it pass, and lo and behold it was a Bugatti Chiron. I was speechless. I could think of nothing else for days. I told everyone I could about it. Received eye rolls and polite smiles. They didn't get it. YOU would understand. Too see something so iconic, and unexpected; to bear witness to mobile artwork is truly something I will hopefully never forget. In the early days of the internet, a famous painter, who was very elderly, was shown his paintings posted online. He became upset. 'It cheapens the experience' he said. It is a privilege and a 'moment' to see the work of a great artist. I understand his point of view. But the truth is, we can see 1,000 pictures and videos, but to see the real thing right in front of you, outside of a garage of museum, is still such a thrill. I watched this video and your storytelling makes it clear that the enthusiasm is alive and well. The fact that you make that annual phone call to your friend is special and shows how ingrained your passion really is. Keep it real and keep rolling.

Then I post them on Autogespot. Such a lovely hobby, it has some risks but I just can’t stop. Plus, I’m not the kind of guy that runs after every car, I’m more of a classic-style spotter

[@noboto4686]

EDIT: what I wrote isn't actually accurate, see the comment from @ThirteenMatt in response to mine for more precise information. Fun tidbit of info about the no.4, the Ferrari, the license plate is actually one of the older French license plates, before 1993 (white on black with two numbers at the end, the numbers correspond to the location ("département" in French) where the car is registered. 83 is the département of "Var" so that's the French riviera, where you have Saint-Tropez. So the driver might actually be the original owner! In any case, at the time the picture was taken the car had not been sold since 1992 (that license plate would have been changed if sold after 1992), so very cool!

[@sammymaestro7642]

Wow awesome

[@ThirteenMatt]

The car could still have been sold after 1992. The numeral format of "1111 AA 11" lasted until 2009, and though legally only registrations from before 1992 and classic car registrations are allowed the black plates it is largely accepted to put black plates on cars old enough but with a later registration number. This is possible because in France plates are not issued by the government, only the number is. You get your registration with your number on it, then you go to a place to have your plates made. That's why someone can still decide to put black plates even though it is not allowed. Also, the fact it has three letters in the middle and quite late in the sequence makes me think it's a later plate. I'll go check if I can find more info on registrations in Var. EDIT: checked the last plate issued by year in Var (département 83) and realized it was 3420 WS and not 342 OWS (which should have been obvious since "O" is never used in french licence plates). Last plate in 1991 was 944 WS 83 and last in 1992 was 1938 XC 83. Which means this is car has changed licence plate in 1992.

[@noboto4686]

@@ThirteenMatt Oh wow, thanks for the insight, I didn't know! I know some people that run black plates illegally with the new format (11-AAA-11) but didn't realize people might have been doing that before 2009. May I ask what website/tool you used to find the information on the license plate of the last car sold in Var? I struggle to find information about older license plates, with the new ones I use siv-auto

Doug, you have to check out the Louis J Mascaro Automotive Museum next time you are on the East Coast. A few of these cars are on display. It's an amazing collection and I'm sure you would love it. Cheers!

In 2006, I was taking a shuttle to school in Fort Lauderdale. It was raining hard... very hard. I looked to my right and saw a red Ferrari F50 with no roof. Inside, it was filled with water-so much water that the driver's and passenger's shoes were submerged. The lady passenger was upset, but the driver seemed not to care. It was crazy to me.

Ha haa, very cool!!!

I saw a Ford GT in Spearfish SouthDakota in like 2005-6. Very unusual for the area

I haven't heard audio reverb like this since new wave music was a thing in the 80's.

Crazy how a concrete dungeon makes for bad acoustics

That story about Ralph is so nice. I can’t imagine having so many eyes on you all the time and he gave time to a kid stalking his car. I saw an F40 driving down the road one day while in my E46 M3. I was hoping they’d push it so I could follow along and have a great memory. They never went over the speed limit and the driver was about 80. I was very disappointed, but it was still great to see one on the road.

2:00 My picture of the Utopia is there.

[@kenobiiiiii]

thats crazyyy dudeee

[@jordanseay216]

I do car spotting myself though because I’m not in an area with any real exotic cars driving around, I look for older RADWOOD era cars from the 80s and 90s. I love documenting those cars and sharing them online to appreciate the history of the car and the fact it’s still here. Whenever I have a spare few hours or so, I love just driving around looking for cool old cars to get shots of.

I bet there is an MC12 included in this vid. Edit: 7:52 I knew it...

[@jumunjisunn2272]

14:20On the veyron, I also loved the Bugatti as a kid and always hoped to see it in person one day. Luckily I did on march 4th 2023 I know it’s way later but the fact I got to see manny Coshbins old blue and white Veyron was amazing!

[@LarsAgerbk]

Carspotting has been a thing for atleast a 100 years

[@MudvayneS10]

A few weeks back I saw a Carrera GT driving around in the Harz region here in Germany (known for many twisty roads) and it entered a tunnel - there was only one thing to do: Windows down, listen and enjoy.

Doug's the type of guy who would do a Doug's top-5 "Doug's the type of guy" comments video.

[@AI.Overlord.X]

He's mentioned in podcasts that they were funny in the beginning. But they're lazy and not well thought out like they used to be.

[@aadhionxbox]

Doug is the type of guy to love a killer and dangerous car

[@joeys8701]

This is the type of content More Doug DeMuro was made for. RIP

[@cameronromig8898]

I’ve seen that Veyron picture a million times and I never knew it was Doug who took it!

[@alias451]

In 2005, I saw Carroll Shelby driving a Shelby Series I down Sunset Blvd towards PCH. I pulled along side and followed for awhile, just to verify what I was seeing. He was alone and seemed to be enjoying a nice drive on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Not my favorite car, but by far my greatest car spotting moment

[@jasonpilla]

I’ve been “Car Spotting” since the mid 1980’s. Absolutely fantastic. Loved it then as much as I do now. Coolest car as a kid was a Countach at Tech Automotive in West Bridgewater Massachusetts in about 1989. And I have the 35mm photos still to back me up!

[@DMBVR4]

I had a photo album on my MySpace called "Supercars In the Wild" that I made in 2005 that featured pics of all the cars I had seen. Proooobably should have pursued that.

[@arnautorraros]

so cool, you are a great story teller

[@pbaroody]

Doug the type of guy to see a mc12

[@althunder4269]

I love Doug's enthusiasm for this stuff. He's a genuine car guy.
